I'm going nuts here!
I've had my domain since 1998, its a real small quiet one.
I've been spoofed for about six months, I get the "undeliverable email" returns through a catch-all on my domain. Plus lots of smut spam...

The past three days, I started getting "Thank you for signing my guestbook" from different locations. I went to some of the sites to see what I "supposedly wrote"
I could tell that these sites were being spammed.

I've disabled the "forms" I had up, someone said one could be "open"... that was when this guestbook thingy started.

I don't want my domain black listed for something I don't do. Anyone know what to do,,,I can't afford to go to Saudia Arabia. That's where one of the ISP's comes from. Most of the "website" listed in the messages led to "info, search engines"

Hi Judy247:)

You said "spoofing". I'm not sure but i think you could be getting a "joe job". Basicly getting alot of return to sender emails i believe. Anyways, I found a link in a webmasterworld thread that explains what a "joe job" is and how to clean it all up. This hopefully will help you
stop "going nuts":)

Here's the link:

Well........

Good luck!
